General / Off-Topic Frontier Pilot Simulator

This is one of the games I've been looking forward to the most. A ship flying game, set in another planet, in which the gameplay emphasis in on the actual flying itself.

It's still in early access but it's very playable already.

You have detailed flight models, several ships, various (and extreme) weather conditions, natural hazards, huge geysers, volcanos, alien landscape, ship customisation, multiple flight modes, etc etc.

Everything affects your flight quite noticeable, cargo weight, wind, weather, etc, which translates into a variety of flying experiences.

Don't usually buy things in early-access, but I was very looking forward to this as I love flying games where the core gameplay focus is the actual flying. Money well spent so far, and the devs are still adding content.

If you're not used to some any kind of flight sims, expect to crash a lot at first!

Anyone else gave it a spin?

I got into this over the holidays and enjoy it quite a bit. If FDev get into planets with atmospheres like this, or even the ones we have now, having a trading/space trucking thing like this would be perfectly inline with ED. Also the way you can select an item and it showing the locations that need those products, and how much they offer/pay, is super convenient.
It reminds me of ED in a big way. It can be very frustrating at times! But, like ED, in a way where you jump right back in, do things a bit better, and all is good.
Im not far enough in yet to know if you get onto other planets, but that would be fantastic. Currently I'm on the second of 3 ships
FDev, check this out for planet side trade stuff. It also has great atmospheric flight stuff.
